Soft landscaping breathes life into outdoor spaces across Norbury's mix of period homes and modern developments. From the compact courtyards near Norbury Park to the generous plots along Pollards Hill, each garden presents unique possibilities. Clay-heavy soil and shaded areas beneath mature London planes need particular attention when selecting plants and preparing ground.
Plant selection begins with understanding microclimates created by neighbouring properties and railway embankments. Border preparation involves enriching that stubborn London clay with organic matter, ensuring drainage for wet winters. Lawn establishment requires careful grading - particularly important given the slight slopes common between Streatham Common and Thornton Heath. Seasonal interest gets built through layered planting, combining evergreen structure with flowering perennials suited to urban conditions.
